Debian Woody puts it in the same place.

Hi, Cream users,
[Note: If you don't care about how Cream works (only that it does!)
you should skip reading this mail.]
An installation structure overhaul is currently underway, and I'm
curious to know if there are any opinions as to whether Cream should
installed in
$VIM:
Linux: /usr/share/vim/cream
Windows: C:\Program Files\vim\cream
* (The current structure.)
* Cream files can be used with multiple Vim installations or runtime
configurations.
* Cream script subdirectory is not adjacent the Vim distribution's
runtime files.
* In cases where a user's $VIM is not located with the runtime
files, makes Cream inoperable.
or $VIMRUNTIME:
Linux: /usr/share/vim/vim62/cream
Windows: C:\Program Files\vim\vim62\cream
* Will require some (minimal) migration.
* A Cream installation can be used with its corresponding Vim
installation.
* Cream files are alongside other Vim runtime file directories.
* Simplifies startup pathing issues a bit, especially on multi-user
systems.
Not sure if anyone here even cares about this, but I thought I'd throw
it out just in case. Vim's author and I had a discussion about this,
and he feels the second option is more appropriate for what Cream
does.
By itself, this is a minor issue, but we are in the middle of
restructuring Cream to enable distinct Vim and Cream sessions, as well
as to make multi-user installation the default on the Linux side. So
since we're re-working pathing now, it makes sense to include
reconsideration of this.
Any opinions?
(BTW, the Linux installation location above is based on Fedora Core.
Do any other of your distros put Vim somewhere else?)
